Shirt Dress Sewalong: Sewing the Sleeve Placket
It’s Sew Easy TV’s Shirt Dress Sewalong 
Part 4: Sewing the Placket on the Sleeve
There are many ways to sew the sleeve placket and depending on your pattern you might have a one piece or two piece placket. If you have a two piece placket, you can change it to one piece and follow the steps I have shown in the tutorial. I learned this technique from altering men’s ready-to-wear and thought THIS WAS SO EASY (It’s Sew Easy LOL!)
The video from It’s Sew Easy tv is a brief tutorial on sewing the placket including pressing and topstitching. As far as interfacing, keep the interfacing out of the seam allowances or the placket will be too stiff.
I am going to work on another shirt dress out of chiffon and definitely going to add embroidery. Now is the time to embroider the sleeve, before we sew the side seams. Just an idea 🙂

Supplies used in this video
- Interfacing
- I use a fusi-knit fusible tricot interfacing – a woven or sew in interfacing will also work
- Test the interfacing on a scrap of fabric to make sure it doesn’t show through
- Buttons
- Thread
- Universal polyester thread
- Silk or cotton thread adds a nice finish for the topstitching
- Pressing Tools
- Basic Sewing Supplies
- Seam Ripper, Measuring Tape, Tailors Chalk, Pins,
- Here are links to my Amazon shopping list.
